DOMESTIC INTERMODAL SERVICE

In 1997, 350 trains were accomplished on the route that joins Bari to the port of Gioia Tauro and the port of Naples. Today, 9 years later, more than 1500 trains a year are running on domestic and international operations on this same route. The combined G.T.S. operation distinguishes itself from that of other intermodal operators as it offers, apart from the railway tracks: a door to door service with G.T.S. swap bodies at the clients disposition that are suitable for the type of goods to be loaded, hauling buffer service at departure and arrival points, booking management, and a good working relationship with the shipper; therefore an all inclusive formula, with the possibility of ad hoc variations studied to accomodate each client. There are two types of services offered on the domestic routes:

• The maritime combined transport
  Dedicated to the transport of containers from Bari to the docks of Salerno and Gioia Tauro: being one of the most important in the Mediterranean and from here it is possible to reach all destinations of the globe. From here direct relationships are maintained as well with the navigation companies for the management of bookings, demurrage, etc.
• The domestic combined transport
  Offered to both container and swap body users. The connections are those that join the South with Middle and North Italy that then allows redirections to the rest of Europe (METTERE LINK time table). The particular terminal points of reference are Bari, Piacenza and Nola. The clients have the option to load their own containers or swap bodies or can use those of the G.T.S. fleet and depending on the type of goods.

INTERNATIONAL INTERMODAL SERVICE

Why should you not worry about anything when you entrust your goods to G.T.S.?
Because you are dealing with a leading intermodal company that offers a unique service following European standards, integrated with innovative technologies of combined transport and a punctual "door to door" service. We like to refer to our service as "problem free".

But what does door to door mean?
It means offering the client with a whole series of activities that complete the chain of transport inclusive of supplying suitable swap bodies for individual types of goods and the direct management throughout all phases of transport. Should the client have their own swap bodies then G.T.S. proposes itself as public operator on the market, offering only terminal services, road and rail hauling; all depending on the specific needs of the client.
